Yeah she rocks. Such a pure, light-hearted, beautiful soul.

I still remember the time she was live on Rodney Bingenheimer's KROQ show. Early 80s right before she died. She did a live set, including this song!

[edlizard]

I remember Saint Patrick's Day 1978 at the Painters Mill Music Fair in what is now Owings Mills, Maryland. First it was Edith and her band,

the Runaways with Joan and Cherry, and then the Ramones. What a show.

[Riotgirl93]

@edlizard wooot! Baltimorian here, shame I wasn't born until 88 haha that sounds like an incredible show!

[HeavyTheWorld]

@edlizard I was there! What a show! My friend taped it but the tapes seem to have gotten away.

[dubpsychosis88]

@edlizard Wow!!! Well I'm not known to be a jealous person, but in this case! Sounds so amazing.

[vinopenquino]

[darreyl102]

i wish i was alive when she was, i never got to meet her or see her show, but my parents did and they have told m e she was a sweet down to earth kind person who loved her fans.

[codyki]

Yoicks! Saw Edie and her band at the Paradise on Comm. Ave. in Boston about '81 or '82, and she did this song among a bunch of others -- great to hear this again! A reeeaaalll lady!
